Pure Nonfiction: Inside Documentary Film

195: Rethinking Louis C.K. in "Sorry / Not Sorry"


Listen Later

“Sorry / Not Sorry” reexamines the case of Louis C.K. In 2017, the New York Times reported that five women accused him of sexual harassment. He responded "these stories are true." Nine months later, he returned to performing and started to reshape his story. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers talks to filmmakers Caroline Suh and Cara Mones about what they learned when they dug deeper into his story. 

In the film, they speak to Jen Kirkman, Abby Schachner, and Megan Koester — who spoke up about his sexual misconduct — as well as Comedy Cellar owner Noam Dworman and others.

"Sorry / Not Sorry" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and is now released in theaters and VOD by Greenwich Films.
